As research on the structure and function of RNAs has rapidly expanded, so too has the number of oligonucleotide drugs in clinical development that regulate RNA. This article describes several examples and suggests where the field is headed.

We are excited to announce that Olivia Rissland, Ph.D (@beascientist). will be joining the RBI in Fall 2017. Olivia studies RNA post-transcriptional, decay and mechanisms of translational regulation. Welcome Olivia!

We are excited to announce that Matt Taliaferro, Ph.D will be joining the RBI in Fall 2017. Matt studies the dynamic regulation of RNA localization and its impact on neurological disesases. Welcome Matt!

The RBI purchased a Chromium controller from 10X Genomics for generating single-RNA sequncing libraries. We are running initial samples in February 2017 and users will have access to the capability shortly through the Genomics Core.
